Grimpak (Sergio Ribeiro in RL) provides another look into what he calls the "dog eat dog eat dog" universe of EVE Online. If you are looking for a gradual walk into the lion's den, you can forget about it. Grimpak starts with the fact that nobody should be trusted, and honor is really a four letter word. He does provide a set of guidelines though:

1. Trust noone;
2. TRUST NOONE;
3. There is no concept of a fair fight in EVE;
4. Therefore, there is no concept of honor in EVE;
5. Everyone is out to get you, no matter what, how or when;
6. The concept of overkill is overrated. However Fire and Reload are just fine.
7. Having a good and expensive ship means nothing about your PvP prowess;
8. The good player always has a backup plan; and a backup to the backup, in case of backup plan failure;
9. There are many smart moves that you can do in EVE. Filling up your Iteron V with all your possessions worth of over 1 billion ISK and flying AFK through hi-sec, is not one of them;
10. Ergo, hi-sec is safer, not safe.

I guess we can never say that we weren't warned. Read the rest of the write up at Eve-Mag.
